To achieve these goals, the project will involve the establishment and reinforcement of partnerships to support program delivery, as well as a review and update of existing policies and training frameworks in collaboration with partners. This collaborative effort will engage, empower single mothers, equipping them with essential skills and resilience, while helping them recognize their potential through this program.
